Ani DiFranco - School night скачать видео бесплатно

Meredith Unger

Did anyone else always think the "one [she] so loves pleasing" is her guitar? Her music, her lyrics, her art, her home base? The "gravity of duties" always struck me as her job as a musician, constantly writing and producing and performing for her audience, as she has so diligently and ceaselessly done for so many years. The "ground speed of joy" was her long-time relationship. This record came out just two years before her official separation and divorce from Goat Boy, her sound guy. I always thought it was her ode to him, to how in love with him she was, how he elated her so, but that their relationship was impeding her first true love -- her art. So she, the mother, was forced to carry one of her children first through the smoke of unthinkable choices, and she chose her art.Man, she is an astounding poet, lyricist, musician, artist. A true Wonder of the World to be treasured til the end of time.

"What kind of scale compares the weight of two beauties?The gravity of duty orThe ground speed of joy?" Another brilliant Aniism

I just discovered Ani. I haven't felt so happy about finding a musician for a long time.

I had a wonderful girl in a conflicted situation send me this song. I didn't listen to her. So we went down a path and now I don't even have her as a friend. I should have listened to her message in this song, but I didn't. I regret it sincerely as she is a wonderful woman and I feel like I have wronged her without even trying to. I hope one day to have her as the friend she should have been in the first place...

Ani seems to like it when you notice her mistakes though! I think she does them on purpose sometimes just to show us that it's ok. :)

Me too. I feel like losing the one I am committed to would be like losing an arm. Yet when I talk to the other one on the phone I subconciously pick up a flower and put it in my hair. I don't even realize I'm doing it until I find the petals in my hair half an hour later. This has happened multiple times. Sigh, I wish i could split myself in two.

This song is so spot on, it allows you to feel the pain of all three people in this situation. I love Ani Difranco, and her ability to to capture all those stirred up feelings in my heart, and put them in words that I can understand. Thank you for this video, I love what you have done with it!

i had lost a love and was running to take my mind off of it. This song came on my ipod and it literally took my legs from under me. for 5 minutes all i could do was kneel on the shoulder and cry. poignant, moving stuff.

@KusumaPrabhak This song punches you in the gut even harder after you've listened to everything that comes before it on the 'Reckoning' disc. Both discs are great listens all around, plus, it has crazy cool packaging (or at least it did when I bought it ten years ago.

This song is just so damn good. I never bought this album but I seriously want to cry every time I hear this.

Olivia Rodriguez

@Lastpaw Actually, I did. So read it again. And get some counselling or something so you can stop harassing people on YouTube over stupid crap to make yourself feel tough.

Olivia Rodriguez

@Lastpaw Wow - you clearly have issues much more serious than whatever you're trying to project onto me. Did you see that I said I WAS SENDING IT TO A FRIEND to INTRODUCE HER TO ANI. Why the hell do you care so much? Get a life and quit responding to my posts because I'm tired of getting email updates from YouTube that your dumbass has commented again. Get over it. You weren't helping, you were being an asshole. Get a life.

Olivia Rodriguez

@Lastpaw Are you serious? I have the CD. Why would I sit on YouTube just listening to a song, with my eyes closed? That's stupid. I was looking for a video with this song to show my friend and introduce her to Ani, and the lyrics distract from the weight of the song if you're listening to it for the first time. So yeah... I'll just close my eyes... WTF.

absolutely stunning.

Olivia Rodriguez

Undoubtedly one of her best songs. In my top 3 favorites. I just think that the text in this video takes away from the song. It'd be nice to be able to find this song on here with images or something. The text is hard to ignore and distracts from her singing and playing. :(
